Andy has the real advantage of having some of the best countryside right outside his doorstep. That just isn't fair :mad:

If anybody is interested - Here's a couple of simple bits of advice on taking your pics. It's all about details. Anybody can do this.
  • Before you press the button, look around and check if there's any clutter, anything that doesn't add to your photo. If there is, reframe and remove it if you can.
  • There are many rules (guides actually - rules are made to be broken) to composition, but, a simple one is the rule of thirds. Have a major point of interest (your car, a wheel or some other interesting bit) on one of the thirds. A line across third of the way from the top, bottom, or up/down 1/3 in from the left or right. Even better, where those imaginary lines cross.
  • Cars rarely look great absolutely side on or directly from the front or back. From one of the corners, even slightly, is usually (but not always) better. Again, a rule that can be broken so, if it works, break the rule. Turn the steering a little so the face of the wheel is visible.
Good photos are created not just 'snapped'.
Now you're all David Bailey's. Go for it!
